📃 FAQ: Karrie vs Zetian in MLBB

Q1: Is Karrie a good pick vs mages like Zetian?

Yes. Her true damage ignores defense and shreds HP-based heroes.

Q2: Why Tough Boots for Zetian?

Karrie's slows and CC are consistent. Tough Boots reduce CC duration and help her escape or reposition.

Q3: Can Zetian burst Karrie before she stacks Marks?

Early game, yes. But late game, Karrie’s damage and Dual Wield state dominate if she survives the burst.

Q4: What emblem set is best for Karrie vs Mages?

Marksman + Weakness Finder for poke and slows.

Q5: Does Karrie work well with tanks?

Absolutely. A tank can absorb Zetian's combo while Karrie stacks Marks from behind.

📢 Conclusion

Karrie vs Zetian is a matchup of burst vs sustain. While Zetian may win in initial trades, Karrie dominates over time especially when outfitted with anti-burst and attack speed items. If played smart and with positioning, Karrie can be Zetian’s nightmare.

For players looking to optimize builds, win more trades, and counter effectively, following the computations above and adjusting to enemy lineups will elevate your performance on the battlefield.
